Jim Tetlow
Born 1974, UK
I like ambiguity in art. Uncertainty. What has to conform to the limits of our reality? Metal, glass and flesh can merge seamlessly, as if the surreal worlds and the life forms within are one and the same, and yet at odds sometimes. I rarely seek to endow my works with any "message". I am more interested in people's personal responses.
I'm a multimedia artist working in fine art (including sculpture), digital art, graphic design and various forms inbetween, also illustrating book covers and numerous CD covers. I also work in musical soundscaping, both solo and in group projects, of which there are many releases. I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone here who has supported me in my work and beyond since I began posting in June 2001. Too many to mention, you all know who you are... I'm meeting very special people here :-)
Update 01-08-05: I've been given a 4 page feature article in Issue 3 of the new media magazine Contour based in Atlanta, Georgia. The images printed very well and they did me proud.
Update 21-03-06: I've been spending the last 6 months living in New South Wales, Australia. Inspiring place! Also in the process of illustrating the book covers for a series of Japanese books called Hikishio no Toki (Time of the Ebb Tide) by Mayumura Taku - to date I've completed the first two of the five volumes. I've recently been returning to traditional media as well as producing the usual digital art, and contributed a sculptural canvas to a recent local exhibition. Link: Saatchi Gallery webspace
Update 09-01-21: I hadn't even logged in for some years. It's weird nipping back here after not even posting for 13 years, like revisiting your old school incognito. As I'm not active here anymore I wonder if anyone will even see this again besides me.

Thos has a hot drippy atmosphere. As if we're in a mine or something where they're trying to find liquid gold. Thefigure in the middle looks like some yellowish lil animal with big goggles who's sleeping... and crying and drooling ;)

Curiously, it's like an update of those flemish masters where the models are illuminated by a single light source like an open fire. A distressing and powerful work.

The dreamers is a great composition, quite intimate and warm. Here you have intensified the golden light with a wonderful result! Good luck with the exhibition! It is great to see these resurrected images, you give old works a warmer softer feeling, they come closer to the viewer in feelings than the original ones.

Ancient evil sleeps lightly, always.

the bee dreams of seduction and the complexity nestled in its own trapizoid construct of reality while it longs for nothing more than simplicity.

Honey and glass forming the outlines of self, but where does one end and the other begin? That's what this image made me think. I love that your images demand attention and thought. You are an inspiration Jim.
Synapse
That's one of the greatest compliments an artist can receive, thank you Anna :-D
